Heroes VS Villains RP: Season Zero

Isa looked at his back and frowned, bending her arm as she felt around behind her to see if something had ended up on her back as well.

As she did this, she quickly teleported the paper from Mirai's back onto the farmer's back.

"It should be gone now." She said.

Isa looked at all of the buildings around them, it appeared to be a town of some sorts, with a bustling marketplace not too far away from the farms.

"...Yeah, I should do that." She said, closing her eyes. A couple of the people walking around stopped and looked when she started glowing with a purple aura-

She focused on the king, the old man she saw stepping out from that carriage and found him, sitting in a wheelchair with wheels made, predictably, out of a ring of crystals. At his side was Lady Jade and in front of them was a woman Isa didn't see back in the vision. They were still in the castle, at least for now.

They were in a guest room, Kei and the other woman seated at a crystal table with a set of plates and cups and a very elaborate meal on it while Jade stood at Kei's side. the walls had vases with flowers in them instead of torches and the bedroom had everything a guest could need within it, a large chair for reclining, a large and comfortable bed for sleeping, many different books lay half-open on the floor and in the bed itself while the bookshelf was mostly empty. A communication device was hidden beneath a set of comfortable pillows.

The woman Jade was talking to was a lady with brown skin and dark blue hair, her fringe held out of her eyes by a orange butterfly hairpiece and the rest in a set of braided pigtail buns, wearing a dark grey-blue vest with flowering forget-me-nots sewn in near her heart, grey shoulder length gloves and a frilly light blue skirt that reached to her knees, black leggings and silver sandals. She had soft, dark brown eyes with freckles beneath them and a round, chubby face. Lastly, she wore a blue diadem beneath her fringe and a piercing in the bridge of her nose.

"...I understand, I'll keep things running smoothly here while you're away." The blue haired woman said, hands clasped against the warm cup on the table in front of her.

"T-Thank you, Clover..." Lord Kei said, placing his hand on hers. "Y-Your father w-would be proud to-... is very be..."

"Your father's proud of you. Assisting us like this." Jade finished his sentence for him. "Now, while we're away with the Lakhani's, we are placing you in charge here, but it's important that you don't tell anyone where we went or why we left, okay?"

"And... what should I do, if someone wants to meet you?" The woman, Clover, asked.

"Do the usual, if you don't recognise them." Jade told her.

Clover closed her eyes for a moment. "...I understand. Are you leaving soon?"

"We're leaving as soon as this conversation ends, sweetie." Jade smiled.

"...Okay. Tell Durga I wished her well, with the baby, I mean." Clover shrugged, adjusting herself on the seat as she brought her cup to her mouth.

Isa opened her eyes. "...They're still in the castle. Talking to some lady, but they're going to leave soon apparently and they do not want people they're leaving."

"Right." Isa grabbed onto Mirai and was about to teleport.

But then she stopped, there were still people looking at them, so she ran instead, heading further into the town. The more they walked the more crowded it seemed to get. People cooking food for sale in stalls, parents and kids going out shopping, the works.

They passed by a large building made of amethyst, a sign out front calling it the 'centre of farming and commerce', a woman in a blue sari with brown skin and long dark hair clutching a bag of fruit and meats was talking to a person covered head to toe in crystal armour right in front of the sign, while a old man sat on the buildings steps with a bottle of what looked like some kind of alcohol. There were three statues at the left of the buildings entrance- recognizable as Dorcalla, Morsaga and the Gateway, then three at the right; Litorius, Vaol and Vitala. People wearing religious looking robes were all over these statues, polishing them while praying.

"I know, every day I spend here and I haven't heard that he's died of old age, I get more and more surprised. Do you think they've had the life element all this time and haven't told us?" The woman in the sari was asking.

"He's had a healthy diet is what it is. He's never had a red meat in his life and now he's going to outlive all of us." The guard muttered.

"I thought red meats were good for you, though." The woman mumbled.

"Maybe the meats you have in Lakhani, but the ones here, if you eat too much they can be seriously bad for you. But they're delicious, so we eat them anyway." The guard explained.

"...There's so many people here..." Isa commented, stepping out of the way to let a guy with a ruffled cravat and a set of emerald rings on his fingers with curly green hair and a stack of papers pressed beneath his arm walk past them.

Isa frowned, pulling Mirai a bit closer to her,

and then as a butcher walked past them, the two turned invisible. Nobody seemed to notice them vanishing, their absence covered up by the sheer number of people there.

"...I think it worked." She whispered to him.

From here, they could see a large castle made out of crystals in the distance, it looked to be in the very centre of town, surrounded by several other spire-like buildings.

Once they got out from the farmer's market, the area became significantly less crowded, instead turning to more of a residential district.

A man with crystal guards on either side of him was standing in the middle of the road, writing something down on a clipboard as he walked towards the marketplace. He was a rather thin guy, with shoulder length curly dark green hair, light green eyes and light brown skin with freckles, a sand coloured button up beneath a brown waistcoat with gemstone buttons and a brown trench coat with a chunk of amethyst on the lapel. Even the pen he was using to write whatever he was writing was tipped with a bit of jade.

"More food for the relief fund for the Kraven kingdom... and less money being spent on weapons from that purple haired jackass mean more can be spent on public infrastructure and education... but I'll have to squeeze that in beside the funds for the northern kingdom alliance and Jade's elite guard... at least the crops are a guaranteed net positive." He was muttering to himself, walking past the invisible Isa and Mirai.

"...I think he's talking about finances?" Isa guessed.

"Oh, wait, I have clairvoyance now!" She remembered, "I can use that to figure it out instead of just guessing."

So she closed her eyes and did that, looking at what was written down on his clipboard.

It was a allocation of a budget, money to be spent paying workers in mining, farming, and in various different branches of military, listened there was 'Lady Jade's personal guard'. The signature at the bottom was signed 'Minister of Trade, Sage Blake'.

"I- That's the guy that ginger dude was talking about, he's Blake. Sage Blake, apparently. Something called a... minister of trade?" Isa explained.

"...We might learn something if we do.

There's something going on here, but I'm not sure what." Isa whispered.

Sage Blake continued to walk past them, heading towards the busy area they had just walked away from.

While nobody was looking at them (as far as she knew), Isa turned herself and Mirai visible again, before calling out "Um, excuse me?"

Sage and his guards all turned around, "...Yes?" He asked, dryly.
